I'm talking about a couple years from now when Mettenberger and Rivers have been drafted to the NFL. Most tiger fans will hate this question, but the sad reality is that there is only one starting job. I've heard great things from both quarterbacks so I don't know what to expect. Rettig or Jennings? Or will Les pull out his infamous two-QB system again?

Jennings looks more impressive to me.

Jennings. I feel like Rettig's high school numbers are superinflated because of the offense his high school runs, in addition to the lack of defense played in that league. He also has several interceptions because of the high pass to run ratio.

Jennings looks great, has great pocket awareness, can get out of trouble if he needs to while keeping his eyes downfield, and has a rocket for an arm. Should be great.

At this point we don't know...everyone transitions to college a bit different. I think in 2014 both will have a chance but we really don't know what Rivers has to offer yet. Jennings and Rettig are about what and what if you asked me...If I had to give a slight edge it would be to Jennings because he is a playmaker.

If I was a betting man, which I am completely, I'd bet Jennings is ahead of Rettig on the depth chart from Day 1. He is the full package. Doesn't have a cannon, but a good arm and great accuracy. He seems to have awesome pocket presence and can extend plays with his feet. He isn't a run-first guy nor does he have the Tyrod Taylor/Manziel speed, but he is plenty athletic and quick to avoid pressure in the pocket.

I am sincerely pumped to have this kid on our team.

I am fully expecting a JJ/Lee fiasco if one of these guys does not jump out as the clear cut starter. But we have a few years before we have to worry about that.

Only a tiger fan can start a qb controversy three years down the road with two players that haven't signed yet.

Not much Rettig love in here. I think Rettig will be the eventual starter.

Both are studs. But Rettig is EXACTLY what we need in a QB.
